Native flowers or wildflowers occupy a special place in our gardens. They are naturally suited to conditions of soil and climate that we find ourselves in, whether too dry, too wet, too shady for many other garden flowers. Wildflowers have ample nectar and pollen to support pollinators that share the same ecosystem. Invite birds, butterflies and hummingbirds into your garden by growing these beautiful native flowers.

Licorice-scented silvery green narrow foliage complements the gorgeous sprays of coral-orange flowers with contrasting rosy violet buds. The elegant spires of bloom and fine foliage creates a haze of color all summer and fall. Deadhead to continue ample bloom. Best in very well-drained soils with a gravel mulch. Avoid heavy clay soils for successful overwintering, and wait until earliest spring to cut back. Drought tolerant once established, water regularly the first year.
